Friday focus: Bring out your sunscreen! ☀️😎

Further to Tuesday’s video tip on what to look for in a sunscreen, a really important thing to note:
❗️Do not use last years opened sunscreen❗️



All products have a shelf life - especially creams with spf! A common misconception is that the expiry date on a product refers to when you need to throw it away...open or unopened. But this is a myth! The expiry date refers to how long it can be sold on the shelf, fully sealed!

An open sunscreen is exposed to oxidation, which can make the chemicals in it unstable, ineffective and actually damaging to your skin. Even more so if it’s got hot or has had sand in it as this breeds bacteria 🦠

So clean out your cupboard at the start of every Summer and buy a new sunscreen each year.
And remember, it’s not just your face you need to protect. Arms, legs, chest. Melanomas form on areas of skin we don’t protect, so stay safe and enjoy the rays ☀️😎

If you’re local, or want the product I recommend, send me a message and I can hook you up 👌🏻☺️
